calibre ereader 'is not in this list' error

calibre ereader 'is not in this list' error.

I am not quite sure since which calibre ereader version this error has become very frequent. It must have been one of the recent versions, because I never encountered it ever before and it affects now hundreds of my ebooks.

I understand the reason for the error and I know how to repair the ePUBs that have this problem. So that is not what I am getting at.

The point I wanted to make is that I am now forced to edit hundreds of ebooks which before gave no problem at all when I opened them in calibre's ereader. My Sony ereader still has no problems with these ebooks.

I would not mind at all if calibre's ereader would warn me, but I would prefer calibre to still be able to open these ebooks, like it was in previous versions.

The error calibre displays:

calibre, version 0.8.51
ERROR: Could not open ebook: u'E:\\Users\\ANDR~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\calibre _0.8.51_tmp_0qtikg\\yqzjuy_ebook_iter\\OEBPS\\Text \\abouttheauthor.html' is not in list

NOTE: In this case it is 'aboutheauthor.html' that is the problem, but this differs.

Thank you for your reply.
I had already begun modifying dozens of affected e-books.
I will stop that now.
